What a way to influence people

Moses wasn't real. Replace him with Confucius or Socrates or something.

Nah. Paul is more influential than any of them.

this and I'm not even Christian

christianity dies in Judea as just another weird monotheistic cult without Paul traveling the Roman empire and setting up roots everywhere. Christianity might have survived as a weird little sect of jews but it wouldn't be what it is today without Paul. He's the most influential jew testament figure, more so than jesus himself

Wasn't Jesus just one of a shitload of Jewish prophets at the time, like John the Baptist? I remember reading there was another who lead some massive exodus into Egypt, but everyone forgot about him. So yeah, I guess it makes sense to say that Jesus' followers were more important than him in the rise of Christianity, though the attractiveness of Jesus' teachings must have been an important factor too.

Moses didn't actually exist. Also since we're at it what about non-religious figures?

Alexander the Great? Cyrus the Great? Julius Caesar? Octavian/Augustus? Charlemagne? Napoleon? Christoper Columbus?
